Green Tea Facts

Usually, when brewing tea by  Chinese tea sets, water is added to the tea leaves. However, when brewing green tea, there are three methods of brewing:

High-quality green tea is made from tender and fine tea leaves. It is brewed in water temperature of 80°C. Medium-quality tea leaves are made from a mixture of coarse and tender tea leaves; the temperature can be slightly higher, and it is usually brewed in 90°C.

The amount of the tea used depends on the grade of the tea leaves, the strength of the flavor and the preference of the tea drinker.

Glass teacups are used for admiring the "dance of the tea leaves." They are usually small (volume of approximately 200 ml) with a heavy base.
